A little something for you.

Heart wide shut

I can love you forever baby
As long as you’re with me when I close my eyesI don’t have to let go
but I won’t move and neither will you

I’m willing to fight for you, but I’ll never let you know
’cause I’m at peace with superficial connections
feeding off the same old conversations
happy, away from the feelings

If I see you, I’ll say I don’t care, but I’d be lying
and if we speak, I’ll have nothing to say,
because you’ll see right through me

I don’t have the strength
I’m not brave enough
but I’ll have you knowI haven’t been alone since I met you

I still see your eyes looking into mine
how they wrinkle up when you smile
I still drown in the warmth of your skin
I go to sleep, and you’re there to greet me

I have all these options
begging to be chosenmaybe I should just let go
I say to myself
I beg myself
but every time, I give in
I scroll through messages
skip through images
to listen to your voice calling my name

I’m chained, but I found freedom in this loss
and sometimes, I wait ‘till the sun comes up
to feel like I’ve seen you face before I fall asleep
